I am reaching out to inquire about a feature within the Amelia plugin that I am utilizing for my website. Currently, I am in the process of setting up a platform to offer online services based on individual appointments and group meetings. Amelia has been instrumental in facilitating appointment bookings on my website.
However, I am encountering a challenge related to managing the number of available slots for daily bookings across different time frames. Specifically, I am interested in implementing a feature that allows me to set a maximum limit on the number of daily appointments based on various time slots.
For instance, within my working hours, which span from 9 AM to 5 PM, I would like to impose a restriction on the number of available booking slots per day. For example, I aim to limit clients to booking appointments in no more than 3 different time slots throughout the day, considering the ample availability provided within the 9 AM to 5 PM timeframe.
This functionality would greatly assist me in optimizing scheduling efficiency and accommodating multiple participants within each time slot. Without such a feature, there is a risk of having extended periods with only one participant scheduled for a group appointment service, which could result in underutilized time slots.
I would greatly appreciate your assistance in guiding me on how to implement this feature within the Amelia plugin or any alternative solutions available. Your prompt attention to this matter would be highly valued as I work towards enhancing the functionality of my online appointment system.
Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to your prompt response and guidance on how to proceed.
Thank you for reaching out regarding your inquiry about limiting daily booking slots in the Amelia plugin.
Currently, in Amelia, there are two types of limits available: limit per employee and limit per customer. These options can be found under the respective settings pages in your Amelia dashboard.
To set limits per employee, you can navigate to Amelia > Settings > Roles > Employees. Here, you have the option to set a maximum number of appointments that each employee can accept within a certain time frame. This feature allows you to control the workload of individual staff members and ensure efficient scheduling.
On the other hand, to set limits per customer, you can go to Amelia > Settings > Roles > Customers. In this section, you can define the maximum number of appointments that a single customer can book within a specified period. This helps prevent overbooking and ensures fair access to appointment slots for all customers.
While these options may not directly address your specific requirement of limiting daily booking slots across different time frames, they offer valuable tools for managing appointment capacity and maintaining a balanced schedule.
We understand the importance of optimizing scheduling efficiency and accommodating multiple participants within each time slot. Your feedback regarding the need for more granular control over daily booking limits is duly noted, and we appreciate your input on this matter.
As we continuously strive to improve the functionality of Amelia, your suggestions play a crucial role in shaping the development of future updates. Rest assured, we will carefully consider your request for additional features that allow for more flexible and customizable scheduling options.
In the meantime, if you have any further questions or if there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our support team is here to help you make the most of your Amelia experience and ensure that your appointment system meets your specific needs and requirements.
Thank you for choosing Amelia, and we look forward to assisting you further.
